[Eug-lug] Switch list

[B. Gallagher]

I could be into that.  I was trying to setup a RAID 1 for Ubuntu.  I 
found it easier for FC 4 (must be the way the info is displayed.)  My 
efforts were half-hearted, so I'll try again to make that work before I 
ask for any help.

I may have a collection of matched drives (WD 7.5 - 20 GB) for people to 
have as experimenters.  I need to know the disaster recovery routine for 
when one of these mirrored drives fails.  I am using new Seagate drives 
so I don't think about it much, but I really don't know how to recover.  
Something like use the remaining (working) drive to repeat the RAID 
setup process.

An XP RAID 0 was easy to setup once I saw the F6 (F2, can't remember?) 
third party prompt, but Linux looks even easier, once you get the hang 
of it, and I feel that people would be into this for data safety.

P.S. the answer to my FAT32 question was indirectly answered in earlier 
posts of a month ago (i.e. use a USB external HDD and be done with it.)  
Don't mind me if I lurk more and post less, its time to take the 
training wheels off (I need to do more web research before I post stupid 
questions.)
